Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Dark Ruby with dark berry fruit aromas with a good dose of complex spice. On the palate Black cherry fruit and sour blackberry flavors were noted, complex with pepper spice, slight toasty quality and lively acidic. Good balance, smooth tannins with nice length and minerality on the finish. I thought the 2012 was a tad better, but let's check back in a year!

Dark ruby in color with a light purple rim.

Fruity on the nose with cherries, strawberries, current, metals, earth, dirt, vanilla, cedar, green peppers, light cloves white pepper.

Light to medium bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with cherries, blueberries, currents, vanilla, licorice, bitter almonds, spices, forest floor and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish with firm, yet round tannins and peppercorn.

Ok Pinot Noir, with a feel of an inexpensive Cabernet from California. A bit bitter, but nicely balanced.

Bueno pero no wow. Un toque de alcohol en la nariz, pero ademas de eso un buen balance. (Bodegar)
